Analysis of X-Linked Dominant and Recessive Traits Suppose a couple, both phenotypically normal, have two children: one unaffected daughter and one son affected with a genetic disorder. The phenotype ratio is 1:1, making it difficult to determine whether the trait is autosomal or X-linked. With your knowledge of genetics, what are the genotypes of the parents and children in the autosomal case? In the X-linked case?
Ehler-Danlos syndrome is a rare disorder caused by a mutation ina gene that encodes a protein called collagen (type 3 A1). Collagenis found in the extracellular matrix that plays an important role inthe formation of skin, joints, and other connective tissues. Peoplewith Ehler-Danlos syndrome have extraordinarily flexible skin andvery loose joints. The following pedigree contains several individualsaffected with this syndrome, shown with black symbols. Basedon this pedigree, does the syndrome follow autosomal recessive,autosomal dominant, X-linked recessive, or X-linked dominantinheritance? Explain your reasoning.
A DNA variant has been found linked to a rare autosomal dominant disease in humans and can thus beused as a marker to follow inheritance of the diseaseallele. In an informative family (in which one parentis heterozygous for both the disease allele and the DNA marker in a known chromosomal arrangementof alleles, and his or her mate does not have the samealleles of the DNA variant), the reliability of such amarker as a predictor of the disease in a fetus is related to the map distance between the DNA markerand the gene causing the disease.Imagine that a man affected with the disease(genotype Dd) is heterozygous for the V1and V2forms of the DNA variant, with form V1on the samechromosome as the D allele and form V2on the samechromosome as d. His wife is V3V3dd, where V3isanother allele of the DNA marker. Typing of the fetusby amniocentesis reveals that the fetus has the V2andV3variants of the DNA marker. How likely is it thatthe fetus has inherited the disease allele D if thedistance…
Bloom syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease that exhibitshaploinsufficiency. A recent survey showed that people heterozygousfor mutations at the BLM locus are at increased risk of colon cancer.Suppose you are a genetic counselor. A young woman is referred to youwhose mother has Bloom syndrome; the young woman’s father has nofamily history of Bloom syndrome. The young woman asks whether sheis likely to experience any other health problems associated with herfamily history of Bloom syndrome. What advice would you give her?
Null mutations are valuable genetic resources becausethey allow a researcher to determine what happens to anorganism in the complete absence of a particular protein. However, it is often not a trivial matter to determinewhether a mutation represents the null state of the gene.a. Geneticists sometimes use the following test forthe nullness of an allele in a diploid organism: If theabnormal phenotype seen in a homozygote for theallele is identical to that seen in a heterozygote(where one chromosome carries the allele in question and the homologous chromosome is known tobe completely deleted for the gene) then the alleleis null. What is the underlying rationale for thistest? What limitations might there be in interpreting such a result?b. Can you think of other methods to determinewhether an allele represents the null state of a particular gene?
A small fraction—2 to 3%—of all cancers, acrossmany subtypes, displays a quite remarkable phenome-non: tens to hundreds of rearrangements that primarilyinvolve a single chromosome, or chromosomal region.The breakpoints can be tightly clustered, with several in afew kilobases; the junctions of the rearrangements ofteninvolve segments of DNA that were not originally closetogether on the chromosome. The copy number of varioussegments within the rearranged chromosome was foundto be either zero, indicating deletion, or one, indicatingretention.You can imagine two ways in which such multi-ple, localized rearrangements might happen: a progressiverearrangements model with ongoing inversions, deletions,and duplications involving a localized area, or a cata-strophic model in which the chromosome is shattered intofragments that are stitched back together in random orderby nonhomologous end joining (Figure Q20–2).A. Which of the two models in Figure Q20–2 accountsmore readily for the features of…

The color in Labrador retrievers is an example of epistasis. The two alleles for the pigment gene are: (B) for black coat and its recessive counterpart (b) for chocolate coat. A different autosomal gene affects the expression of color in the coat and has two alleles, (E), which allows the expression of color, and (e), which is epistatic and blocks the expression of the B/b gene. The epistatic allele is recessive and is only expressed as a yellow color in the homozygous condition (ee), regardless of the B and b genotypes. A completely homozygous black lab was mated to a yellow lab, homozygous for the chocolate allele. Their offspring will be the F1…

I need help please
Please draw it out so I understand how it's suppose to be drawn
Please help a bit confused, don't need detailed response just an understanding of the idea
